| Sumario: | In response to the challenges posed by the climate, environmental, and development crises, socio-environmental policies have sought to align conservation strategies with social well-being objectives. Mexico, a country rich in biodiversity but facing significant deforestation, has implemented notable programs such as Payments for Environmental Services (PES) and Sembrando Vida (PSV). Both initiatives aim to promote the sustainable use of natural resources while improving community well-being. However, their structural differences lead to distinct impacts on rural communities. This analysis is based on the hypothesis that, although these programs stem from a common diagnosis, their actions make only a limited contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and may even affect social cohesion. It is essential to move beyond the assumption that a single program can fully encapsulate public policy.
